A tad dated but a lovely comfortable place to stay!

If perfection means new everything then this is not the place for you. The home is older but shows its wrinkles well. It was very clean inside, and had everything we needed. The neighborhood is established and was very quiet especially at night. I appreciate the owner not allowing smoking indoors and stating a quite time so there is no disturbances late at night. This will be on my wishlist for my stays in Birmingham!

Great stay for a wedding weekend!

Loved the central location! Found a great little restaurant almost immediately, Giuseppe's, a must stop. The wait staff recommended another restaurant downtown as a must, and it is, T-Bones, great Philly Cheeses take while on the run. Your house was clean and wide open. Perfect place for our pups while there. The outside space for our do pups was perfect, fenced in and no way out for the to find. Kitchen and bathroom very clean. And, thanks for having coffee available. We would stay here again! Thanks! Steve and Babs
